Say hello to my little friend! Man, I was caught off guard that my number came around so quickly on this. They must be making them on a grand scale.
So, there are two options for this and although my Mac has the TASK conversion (hole drilled in back of receiver for stock with spring and buffer tube) I chose to go with the IRM (internal recoil mechanism) for my setup. It does limit it me to either 5.56 of 300 blkout (just a barrel change) and no way to play with different buffer weights to change ROF (rate of fire) or change barrel or bolt for other calibers. I can order the parts and it is actually more expensive to convert to the TASK version from the IRM version. I chose the IRM as I wanted something that runs for now. I also wanted to keep the weight down for the setup and adding an M4 (I have already) or an A4 stock assembly would add to the weight.
I would not mind maybe converting to 300BLkOUT since only a barrel change would be needed. Well, that and the proprietary wrench from Lage to take the barrel nut off. The other issue is the expense of ammo at FA. I thought about 7.62x.39 but dont want to beat the hell out of my frame. Also, when converting to a different caliber, it will prolly take some effort to make it run.
Now, if only I could get a 5.7x28 barrel and bolt setup as well as the upper to take PS90 mags like my AR57 upper.....
Hopefully a range report and some videos to come this weekend. Hoping the Hossienda Range will be open!
